servicing dealer.
2.2 System description
The system contains a robotic lawn mower, a charging
station and a reference station. The robotic lawn mower
and reference station uses the technology with satellite
signals to position the robotic lawn mower correctly,
this means that boundary wires are not necessary. The
reference station is stationary and sends correction data
to the robotic lawn mower to get an accurate position
of the robotic lawn mower. The virtual work area for the
product is made in the Automower
®
Connect app. The
product is operated and waypoints are added to make a
map in the app. Refer to
System overview on page 7
.
2.3 Product description
Note: Husqvarna regularly updates the appearance
and function of the products. Refer to
Support on page
6
.
The product is a robotic lawn mower. The product has
a battery power source and cuts grass automatically. It
continuously alternates between mowing and charging.
The movement pattern of the product can be set to
random or systematic. The virtual boundary specifies
the work area where the product is allowed to operate.
The satellite receiver in the product senses when it
is approaching the virtual boundary. When the product
hits an obstacle or approaches the virtual boundary the
product selects a new direction.
The operator selects the operation settings in the
Automower
®
Connect app. The app shows the selected
and possible operation settings, and the operation mode
of the product.
2.3.1 Mowing technique
The frequent cutting technique improves the grass
quality and decreases the use of fertilizers. Collection
of grass is not necessary.
2.3.2 Find the charging station
The product operates until the battery state of charge
is low or until the work area is cut, then the product
starts to go to the charging station. The product uses
EPOS guidance with satellite signals to find a path to the
charging station. This decreases the wear on the lawn
and the time to find the charging station.
2.3.3 Connectivity
